- Guido (9/5): Superb -
- Stefani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jesika (10/5): All was good - Highly recommended for solo travelers or family stacation. The hostel was clean, service was good. They have great view in every corner. Beautiful lake, and you can also swim. I loved it! Just because it’s really close to train railway so it’s a quiet noisy in the night when sleep.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was my favorite part. It was fresh and sooo delicious. Especially with the gorgeous morning view of the lake. I could enjoy that every morning of my life.
- Munkhtuya (9/5): Superb -

- Ngoc (9/5): wonderful - perfect
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dennis (10/5): Best stay in all of Switzerland - I absolutely LOVED this hostel. It's just a beautiful as the photos show. The character of the heritage building is lovely. It oozes with the feeling of a secluded summer lodge, yet is close enough to interlaken to get to everything easily.
The staff were kind, helpful and welcoming.
They provided me gluten free buns for breakfast.
- Mena (8/5): Very good -
- Strebel (1/5): Bad -
- Yee (9/5): Superb - All good Floors require refurbishing. Otherwise all good
- Quỳnh (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, comfortable
- Marilyn (9/5): Superb -
- Varun (8/5): Overall nice and comfortable - The breakfast was pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary. No warm meals though. Just the usual cold meat, cereals, bread/toast, coffee, milk etc. The shared rooms didn't have a working locker although the description said so. There were only two shower rooms.
- 정화 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mogantara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aparna (10/5): A very beautiful and memorable stay. - The location was amazing next to Lake Thunersee. And the hostel is an old charming Swiss chalet. The plumbing was problematic.
- Nisaar (10/5): Exceptional - Great every think. 👌 Great every think. 👌
- Praveena (7/5): Good - Location No WIFI ,
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lindsay (6/5): - This hostel has a beautiful view and is right on the lake. But the WiFi situation is terrible! No WiFi in the rooms and poor signal in the common area. The property is also right next to the train tracks, and the train goes by often and way into the night. There’s also one restaurant close by that I could find, so very few places to eat/shop/etc. Overall, it’s a great spot if you want to sit on the lake and relax, unplugged. Not great if you are a remote worker that needs quality WiFi and restaurants to sit and work at.
- P (10/5): Exceptional - The lake access from the property is so good . Did not expect to be so good . The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed the views and the experience.
- Eline (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely location near the lake with beautiful view. Friendly staff and delicious dinner. Would recommend without doubts
- Chiraag (9/5): Superb - Nice location. Staff was helpful.Overall good.
- Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pedro (8/5): Fantastic place - dreamlike! - Fantastic location just by the lake with beautiful view and access to lake beach. Historical property with a very welcoming spirit both for solo travelers, but also plenty of families. Fantastic breakfast. I wish I could have stayed longer. A small parking space for a couple of motorcycles inside the property would be really nice and wouldn't take much room anywhere. One of the days I had to park the motorcycle away from the property because the parking outside was full and not really suitable to park motorcycles.
- Pranav (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, you can swim in the lake. Breakfast was good. It was a little hot in the night with little ventilation
- Laura (10/5): Leissigen Hostel - The staff was very accommodating and kind. I made the mistake of not reserving dinner 24 hours ahead of time and they still kindly let me have dinner at the hostel. The location was amazing! Right on the water with a dock and watercraft for rent (very cheap too!). The sunset over the lake was absolutely beautiful.
- O'brien (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, free breakfast, lots of people to meet, and lots of things to do within the Hostel. Loved everything
- Premang (7/5): Best location value for money. Worse wifi. - Amazing location. Right beside the lake. And they had equipment for some water sports as well. The wi-fi was pretty much useless. It wasn't reachable from rooms, or backyard. The only place wi-fi was working was the common dining area.
- Abigail (9/5): Superb -
- Roger (5/5): The hostel is nice but we’re not comfortable maybe it quite hot in the room. - The backyard garden in the lake side The floor is creaky every time you walk.
- Ahmad (9/5): Superb - A hostel with 5 stars view!
Great location near the bus stop and 10 minutes from Interlaken.
Very nice and friendly staff.
Clean rooms.
Very good breakfast.
Highly recommended!
- Xiaoping (8/5): Very good -
- Geetika (10/5): Mesmerizing - Omg the location is exotic. Lake access and original Swiss chalet. Easy to reach by bus 60 from Interlaken ost. I am so glad I booked them
Spectacular views They have few double bed rooms
- Swee Keat (10/5): - Good. Located at outskirt region and very scenic location. Convenient there is bus nearby
- Natpong (7/5): good for value of money - reception staff was so nice and very helpfun Too bad there's no private bathroom and elevator
- Janna (8/5): Very good - the views are incredible, hot showers, clean and tidy spaces, good breakfast, close to bus stop, far enough from city but not too far that it’s inaccessible, and shout-out to Martin and his co worker from Brazil who were very helpful and friendly loud sounds due to the hostel house being quite old and creaky, no wifi connection in hostel rooms
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional - The place is AMAZING! Cozy and beautiful. Accomodation was good and the staff very friendly! I regret being there just for / days. I’m definetly coming back.
- René (2/5): - Nous avions réservé une chambre avec lits jumeaux, la seule chambre de libre était avec des lits superposés ...
La responsable du lieu n'a pas voulu entrer en considération en prétendant que nous avions réservé des lits superposés, malgré notre confirmation ebooker. Lamentable !!!
- Aleena (10/5): - The house was very charming, clean, and in a safe area. The staff were so nice and made breakfast every morning. :)
- James (10/5): Perfect setting! - A wonderful location on Lake Thun - and very convenient for the station. Simple rooms in a traditional chalet building - that had been the summer house of the founder of Ovaltine, and retained many of the original features. A quiet village setting from which to walk along clearly signed paths in all directions. Great breakfasts and evening meals. Would highly recommend a stay here!
